  • The Legend of Zelda franchise is more popular than ever with Tears of The Kingdom, and lots of Zelda trivia and secrets can still be found if you look hard enough... Specifically, at the lesser known Zelda Spin-off Games!
    Join me as I look at The Legend of Zelda spin off games, from the popular to those that are lesser known, from the NES era as well as all the way through Ocarina of Time, Twilight Princess, Breath of The Wild and more! I set out to study each and every Spin-off game that the Zelda series has ever had (no matter how small) to see what has really been going on for all these years!

    I think the Sonic Lost World Hyrule DLC deserves an honorable mention here. Although it's not a Zelda game it does have Sonic traveling to Hyrule where he does meet Link. I've found that not a lot of people actually know that this crossover exists.

    We actually had the Barcode Battler growing up - though I didn't know there was a Zelda set in Japan!
    Most of the fun of it was that ANY barcode worked as long as you could swipe it through the scanner. Fruit Loops vs Cheerios? Cookies vs a bag of chips? Barbie vs Hot Wheels? All doable! The packaging for everything else we received that Christmas morning didn't see it coming.

    I think the tingle games are fascinating. They take all the weirdest parts of zelda and mash them with Mother's 3 writing and world design. Massive respect for nintendo for never being afraid to be as weird as they are.

    Hi, owner of the zelda wrist watch here
    It's, uh, not the best. My watch is kinda busted slightly but even if it wasn't, it'd be like a 4/10 experience at best.
    The original Zelda G&W slader tho, how dare you good sir. It's fun! :p
    Edit: I also own an unopened zelda barcode battler lol.

    I have watched let's plays of these two Tingle games and of course they have their flaws but they also have a certain charme and I will always fondly remember them. I think the boss fight in Tingle's Rosey-Rupee Land is pretty darn funny and I like the story and characters in Tingle's Balloon Trip of Love.

    I've thought about making a video like this myself! I'm actually impressed at the thoroughness of this video! I was sure some of the more obscure stuff like the Game Watch and Barcade Battler would be absent, so props for including them! I'm not actually through with the video yet, so I could be wrong, but it does look like you've missed at least 1 game, The Legend of Zelda Battle Quest, a game from Nintendoland on Wii U, though I suppose you could argue it doesn't count since it's not a stand-alone game.

    Fantastic overview video. I can proudly say, that I own every single one of these games and the systems required to play them. The only exceptions are the Satellaview games. Also, I had to use unofficial means to get the ‘too much tingle pack’ running on my non-japanese DSi. I can’t be bothered with generic Zelda merchandise, art books, special editions. For me, everything that counts is having a playable version of EVERY Zelda game, including spin-offs. I also have beaten most of them by this point. Still working on 100%ing the Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition, and at some point, I will need to take some time to learn properly how the Barcode Battler works, and how I can ‘beat’ the Zelda deck of cards.
    Some others I like to include in my count of spin-offs are the two Nintendo Adventure Books that feature the Legend of Zelda. Sure, they are not video games but some kind of game nevertheless. Finally, I would really love the get my hands on the Zelda board games by Milton Bradley (1988) and Bandai (1986). Maybe one day…

    @DoorsInTheLabyrinth Před měsícem +1

    If you like Hyrule Warriors, its definitely worth playing the Switch version. All the dlc, plus all the stuff added for the portable version. New charcters, maps, story levels, etc, its great! Im nowhere near 100%, but regularly pick it up and play for a bit. Best way to play that game, again, if you like the gameplay style

  • @watchf
    @watchf Před 29 dny +2

    the BS zelda games aren’t really spin-offs, third quest and fourth quest are like remixes almost and ancient stone tablets I would even consider them “mainline” games before I call them spin-offs. Also tetra trackers is not it’s own game, it’s on the Japanese flour swords adventures disc, that’s like calling master mode a “spinoff game”

    • @PowerPandaMods
      @PowerPandaMods Před 27 dny

      I don't know that I'd consider them mainline, as they canonically star the Satellaview mascot characters instead of Link, but they ARE games that everyone should play.

  • @EnergyBurst2
    @EnergyBurst2 Před 23 dny

    The only version of the original Hyrule Warriors I have is the 3DS one, Legends, and to be honest I did once consider picking up the Wii U version long ago, but after looking into it I learned just how comparatively barebones the Wii U version was compared to Legends that I lost all interest in the Wii U version as better graphics and animations wasn't worth how little there was to do in it and how many fewer characters there were unless I wanted to pay extra for DLC in order to get them. Later on, of course the Switch version was announced some years later, but by that point I had gotten so far into Legends and still had more to do with the adventure maps that I decided to pass on the Switch port, also because the Switch version also lacked the really neat My Fairy feature that was a part of Legends that made the game flow a bit better I felt.

    14:30 Adding a little info to that: Sony found out that Nintendo was working with Philips at the 1991 CES when, while they were in the showfloor, Nintendo announced to the world that Philips was creating a CD addon for the SNES. Sony unveiled their SNES CD addon the day before, at the same showfloor, and now they were watching Nintendo shove all their work to the side.
    It's not just that Sony and Nintendo didn't see eye-to-eye... Nintendo wanted to join forces with Philips just to say F-you to Sony and nothing more.
